10 Reasons to love Open Source

We support it. We have faith in it. You should to.
It’s the way of the future, no matter you one think, and we are here to convince you.
It is based on the basic morals of freedom and democracy, the morals on which the world thrives
It leads to the strengthening and integration of the global communities
It is going to create an environment where information will flow as freely as water, where ideas travel faster than light.
It has complete transparency and accountability in all its development processes and rapid evolution
It offers apprentices the opportunity to watch the masters at work, to interact with them, and to learn how they think, work, succeed, and fail
It is above all distinctions and discriminations. A coder from Microsoft is on the same turf as college student sitting in his dormitory with his laptop.
It is people-oriented and people-centric, not profit-based. It works according to the requirements of the people, not according to the requirements of the developers.
It is changing our life by the minute, whether we realize it or not
